Hectic Times Ahead

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Let's face it, the Holidays can get pretty hectic and the last thing you need is some epic snowstorm to get in your way. Well..good news, you have a nice stretch of dry weather that will last into the start of the weekend. High pressure is moving into New England right now and will camp out for a few days. That means mainly sunny skies (there will be a few high, thin clouds out there today) and seasonal temps. Also with high pressure so close, little to no wind for the next couple of afternoons--that is HUGE this time of year when outside for any length of time.

While all this is going on, changes elsewhere are brewing....(insert dramatic music here)

The atmosphere will undergo changes that will greatly increase the chances of winter storms along the east coast. The first such chance will be on Sunday. As of now, it does not look like a big storm but it does look like a cold storm---so some patchy light snow/flurries appears likely on Sunday (all day) that will linger into the evening hours (including the Patriots game). This storm does have the potential to become a major storm with snow,sleet, freezing rain & rain. Too soon for rain/snow lines or how much in my town but use the next few days to find the shovels, test the snow-blowers and buy that first bag of sand/salt.

Later,

Can Only Go Up From Here

Rain and drizzle continues tonight as temperatures drop into the mid 30s to 40 degrees.  Any burst of heavier precip drags down colder air, and elevations above 1000 feet in northern Worcester County  or southwester NH see wet snow mixing in overnight.  No shovels or plows needed for us, but it is a sure sign how cold the atmosphere is for late May.  As of this writing, Mt. Mansfield in VT has picked up 7.5" of snow and Whiteface Mtn. in NY has picked up 18"!

This Is How It Starts? Really?

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees.  So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right?  Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in.

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.
